DEL.ICIO.USMiami-bound Prince Kent showing his offensive skills

Norcross defensive back and Miami prospect Prince Kent is showing that he’s a two-way talent.
Starting at receiver for the first time in his varsity career, Kent has grabbed 21 catches for 461 yards for a whopping 22-yard average.
The 6-3, 195-pound Kent saw little time at receiver last year, sitting behind three players who signed Div. I scholarships, Brice Butler (Southern Cal), Devonta Bolton (Alabama) and Alex Napper (Kent St.)
“After being behind them, I think he really stepped it for his senior year and he’s done great things for us,” said Norcross coach Keith Maloof. “He’s doing well on defense and offense and making some great plays for us.”
Last week against North Forsyth, Kent had three receptions for 113 yards. The week before against Chattahoochee, he had caught a short hitch and turned into a 60-yard reception.
“He’s catching the short stuff and the deep stuff right now, which is good for him,” Maloof said. “He’s making people miss and taking the short stuff and getting yards after the catch.”
The coach added that Kent has the ability to play receiver at the next level, though there is no talk of that from the Hurricanes.

I have seen his last few games and the coach is right he really has skills to play reciever at the next level, but at 6-3 he can really go pro at DB.
